UNITED STATES PATENT,

PUMP' s'rnuornnn.

Application led March 15, 1926. Serial Nc. 991390.

This invention relates to a distributing device adapted to be used with a pump. As is well known, pumps for pumping water from wells are. usually located on a platform and have a pump casing and pump rod extending down to a cylinder in the well, in which cylinder the piston is disposed. It is often desirable to pump the water to different points. Y

It is an object of this invention to provide a very simple and efficient device which can' be readily connected to the pump casing and to various distributing` pipes or conduits, said device also having' controlling means whereby the water can be distributed as desired.

It is a further object of this invention to provide a distributing device comprising a casing formed as a single cast-ing which can be readily inserted in the pump casing and suitably connected ksoas to be easily and quickly controlled from the pump platform.

rllhese and other objects and advantages of the invention will be fully set forth in the following` description made in connection4 with the accompanying' drawings, in which like reference characters refer to the same parts through the different views and in which f Fig. 1 is aview partly in front elevation and partly in vertical section of the lower end of a pump mounted on a platform, with the pump casing and cylinder, having the y device applied thereto.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken on line 2 2 of Fig. 1 as indicated by the arrows and shown on an enlarged scale.

Referring to the drawings, a portion of a pump platform of ordinary construction is shown at 3. rIhe lower end of the pump body 4 is shown as connected to the platform 3, from which pump extends downwardly the usual pump casing 5. The pump 4c may be of any ordinary and usual construction, operated either by a pump handle or by a windmill or other motor. The pump casing 5 is shown in two sections, the lower one 5a of which connects with the pump cylinder 6 from which a pipe 7 extends into the supply of water. The usual valve equipped piston or plunger 8 is provided in cylinder 6, connected to the pump rod 9 which extends through casings 5 and 5a and through the pump 4.

In accordance with the present invention, sections 5 and 5fL of the pump casing are 12 which thus extend from the ports 10b.l

A cylindrical valve 18 is provided, closed at its top and fitting` in the bore at the upper end of chamber 10a, said valve having an upwardly extending central stem fitting in the hub 11a, which stem is rigidly connected to ay rod 14C adapted to extend, upwardly above platform 3 and havesecured thereto a suitable operating handlel. Valve 13 hasa port 13a therein-,adapted to aline with any one of the ports 10b. If desired or necessary, the packing material may. be

disposed between valve 13 and the cap 11.

The casing 10 has a branch or portion 10d at one side thereof, having a chamber 10e therein communicating by 4means of one of the ports 10d with the chamber 10a. Portion 10d is shown as having'a hub at its upper endy internally threaded to receive the lower end ofthe pump casing section 5. Thelow a projecting; hub bored to have the rod 9 pass therethrough and externally threaded to receive the stuiiing box 16 whereby suitable packingmay be placed around rod 9 and between said latter hub and box or cap 16. Casing 10 also Vhas a lower branch or -portion 10f having therein the chamber 10g communicating through passage 10hwith chamber lOa, and said portion 10E has a hub at its lower end internally threaded to receive the upper end of the pump casing section 5a. Portion 1()f also has any upwardly projecting hub or stem at its upper end bored to have passed therethrough `the rod /er end of portion-10d is also shown as having ice 9 and externally threaded to receive the stuffing box or cap 17 so that packing material may be disposed under the cap 17 and around rod 9.

In operation, if it is desired to deliver the waterat the pump l in the usual'manner,

the handle 15 in rocL 14; will be turned so that pcrt 13a alines with the port 10bA communicating` with the chamber 10e. When lll? squarely against the inner or bottom Wall of the said Socket. rhe operator then uses a hammer7 striking the outer plug in the direction of the length of the axle whereby the Wheel is jarred loose from the a-Xle and Jche key thereof and may be quickly removed.

Having described the invention what is claimed is- A device adapted to be used for removing' a Wheel from un axle upon which it is keyed comprising a body provided at its opposite ends with ulined Sockets of different sizes, `fand anvil plugs itting in the sockets.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
